This research  aims  to analyses  factors  influence  on production  and  resources  allocation  of soybeans  by farmer  at  West Lombok.  Production  function  was estimated  from survey data and technical  efficiency  was used to indicate  farm management  level  through maximum  likelihood,  which  was transformed  into frontier stochastic  production  function.  The land  size,  fertilizer  (urea and  TSP), labor  and pesticide  influence  the production  of soybean  at site.  The technical efficciency  level of Soybean fann was 95,6 percent   The  usage of TSP and pesticide reached allocative efficiency while urea and seeds were al/ocative efficiency yet Key words:  technical  effICiency, allocative  effICiency, and stochastic  frontier  production  function.

This paper investigated the determinants, especially labor transformation, and differences of technical efficiency between main and non-main grain-producing area in China based on a panel data from 30 provinces in the period of 2001–2017. Stochastic frontier production function was used to estimate the level of technical efficiency and the marginal productivity of different inputs. The estimated results showed that land is the most important factor to improve China’s grain output, followed by fertilizers, labor, and machinery inputs. There was a significant 4.6 percent gap of production efficiency between main and non-main producing provinces. Influence of rural labor transformation was confirmed to be positive to improve technical efficiency.
